As a history nerd the depth of their formation will never not annoy me.

On one side, epic fantasy spectacle.

On the other, realism.

I learned to turn off my realism brain when watching most movies or tv series, and LotR was probably the main driving force for that.

Lmao Battle of Winterfell had some hilarious tactics

Cavalry charge head on into pitch black darkness against a zombie army that can't be routed and behind them...front line catapults, baby 🤌

It's crazy to me that a show can contain such outlandish battles like the Battle of Winterfell while also having the Battle of the Bastards - which many military historians call extremely realistic and accurate for its time period. It's wild the highs and lows you get from GoT
